The story of

Sadness is a Blessing [&Tilly x Jordan Murawa]

single / 2023-04-20
alt-folk, cover song /guitars, epiano, cello, piano, vocals, duet

sadness is behind it all  and although so heavy, so grey it is in us, in the brightest of days and all we do is fight until we realize we might just be joyous about the sadness that moves us forward from madness

"Sadness is my girlfriend, oh sadness I' your boy."

This cover version of Sadness Is a Blessing (originally by Lykke Li) was created with the incredibly talented Jordan Murawa. Working on this folky cover song long-distance, we wanted to showcase our respect & connection to the famous song in our own way and style, changing it considerably while keeping the vibe and the message intact. It has a strong message, after all.

& lyrics

My wounded rhymes make silent cries tonight
 My wounded rhymes make silent cries tonight
 And I'll keep it like a burning
 I’m longing from a distance
  
I ranted, I pleaded, I begged him not to go
 For sorrow, the only lover I've ever known
  
Sadness is a blessing
 Sadness is a pearl
 Sadness is my boyfriend
 Oh sadness, I'm your girl
  
These scars of mine make wounded rhymes tonight
 I dream of times when you were mine so I
 Can keep it like a haunting
 Heart beating close to mine
  
Sadness is a blessing
 Sadness is a pearl
 Sadness is my boyfriend
 Oh sadness, I'm your girl
  
I ranted, I pleaded, I begged him not to go
 For sorrow, the only lover I've ever known
 Every night I rant, I plead, I beg him not to go
 Will sorrow be the only lover I can call my own?
  
Sadness is a blessing
 A blessing
 Sadness is a joy
 A joy
 Sadness is my girlfriend
 My girlfriend
 Oh sadness, I'm your boy
 My boy
  
Sadness is my girlfriend
 Oh sadness, I'm your boy
